Dia De los Muertos---COMING SOON!

As my friend Andy Luu would say, "Hola guys!" Haha. Sorry for not updating you guys about Dia de los Muertos (day of the dead). I'm deathly sick today...okay..not deathly...but I DID have stomach aches from hell. Felt like my typhoid symptoms again (side effect of taking live oral typhoid vaccine...a big no no ) Ugh.

It's ironic though because this morning, I was like..."Hm, I feel like ditching clinic. I think I'll tell Leslie that I'm sick. Dear God, please forgive me for this lie...I kinda wish I was a little sick so it wouldn't be a lie." Be careful what you wish for because afterwards, all hell was let loose. Had diarrhea, severe stomach cramps, severe body aches, and a fever. I'm sure it wasn't God who gave me this because He's definitely not like that. I'm thinking it was the chorizo torta I had on Tuesday at Cuiles because I did feel funny the next morning.

Anyhow, I was trying to read after sleeping the whole day, but my stomach was SO in pain. I began to cry because it hurt SO bad. It felt like someone was carving a hole in my stomach. I felt nauseous and my body was aching so badly. Then, I was stressed because I had so much reading to do and I need to pack for Puerto. Anyways, I tried contacting Dr. Tenorio for like half an hour, but couldn't reach him. I tried contacting Dra. Adela, but she was no where to be found. I finally decided to call my family physician in the States who told me to take cipro. Yay for bringing cipro. I was also craving a light soup so badly...but didn't know if I could cook at my house. Luckily, my homestay grandma knew my stomach hurts, so she gave me pain meds and she made me a hot porridge. It was everything I wanted--meds, food, and warmth. =) I feel like it was God who was taking care of me because I remember just telling myself how much I wanted my mommy's porridge. Anyways, just the thought of everything made my stomach feel a little better. It still hurts, but it's bearable. I can finally read in peace and rest.

I think I will ditch clinic tomorrow too because I don't feel well enough to get out of bed still let alone walk around in an environment with sick people. For sure I will try to update Dia de Los Muertos tomorrow! I really need to update before I leave for Puerto on Saturday since internet there sucks I hear.

Alright. 30 more days before I get to go home to my doggy and my family :)
